Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: May 2024


This unit of competency covers skills and knowledge required to last shoes using hand processes.

The unit applies to work involving the hand lasting of shoes, which requires operator dexterity and accuracy in regard to positioning and guiding of work. It involves working independently and being accountable for own results, including carrying out assigned tasks, coordinating processes, and setting and working to deadlines.

Work may be conducted in small to large scale enterprises and may involve individual and team activities.

No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.

You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)

Complete records

Evidence required to demonstrate competence in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy the requirements of the elements and performance criteria, and include:

reading and following work instructions, standard operating procedures (SOPs), safe work practices

applying relevant standards

checking work against ticket information and workplace procedures

preparing workstation and work before commencing operations

applying hand last processes on at least five (5) occasions appropriate to a range of construction techniques

handling and positioning materials with dexterity and accuracy to match size and pairs

complying with quality specifications

applying workplace procedures

maintaining accurate records.

Evidence must be provided that demonstrates knowledge of:

safe work practices and procedures and use of personal protective equipment (PPE)

relevant Australian Standards

characteristics of typical leathers and how to minimise stretch and how to make allowances for variations

range of construction techniques

hand last process

quality standards and practices

workplace practices

recording and reporting practices.

Assessors must:

satisfy the assessor competency requirements that are in place at the time of the assessment, as set by the VET regulator

have vocational competency in hand last shoes, at least to the level being assessed, with relevant industry knowledge and experience.

Assessment should occur in operational workplace situations. Where this is not possible, or where personal safety or environmental damage are limiting factors, assessment must occur in a sufficiently rigorous simulated environment reflecting realistic operational workplace conditions. This must cover all aspects of workplace performance, including environment, task skills, task management skills, contingency management skills and job role environment skills.

Assessment processes and techniques must be appropriate to the language, literacy and numeracy requirements of the work being performed and the needs of the candidate.

Conditions for assessment must include access to all tools, equipment, materials and documentation required, including relevant workplace procedures, product and manufacturing specifications associated with this unit.
